More quotes by Victoria Legrand
Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.
Victoria Legrand
I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.
Victoria Legrand
In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.
Victoria Legrand
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
Victoria Legrand
I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.
Victoria Legrand
I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.
Victoria Legrand
It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.
Victoria Legrand
I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.
Victoria Legrand
Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.
Victoria Legrand
With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.
Victoria Legrand
But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.
Victoria Legrand
I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.
Victoria Legrand
Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.
Victoria Legrand
My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.
Victoria Legrand
I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
Victoria Legrand
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
Victoria Legrand
The guys in high school were like, You've got a nice voice you should keep singing, but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.
Victoria Legrand
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.
Victoria Legrand
As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.
Victoria Legrand
I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.
